One tablespoon of solid shortening weighs 13 grams (from label). There are 16 tablespoons in one cup, so 13 x 16 = 208 grams. One-half cup of shortening weighs 104 grams. One-third cup of shortening weighs 69 grams. One-fourth cup of shortening weighs 52 grams. This is the easiest way to weigh shortening. Just be sure to zero out the scale before adding shortening to the cup or bowl.
